FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which platforms are supported?

Is there any pay-to-win?

No. Everything in NEO is earned through gameplay — no microtransactions, no advantage you can buy.

Is the game in early access?

Yes, NEO is currently in alpha (v1.30.0). Updates ship regularly and the game evolves with community feedback.

Can I play on the same account on the website and in-game?

Yes — one account for both. You can sign up on the site or in-game, and manage your email and password from your account page here.
